The following WORKAROUND works for me. I've performed these steps 3 days ago and my machine have been running non-stop, using the latest Feisty kernel (2.6.20-16-386):

Open menu.lst with:
   sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

Using Ctrl+W, Find the line that says:
   # defoptions=quiet splash

and change it to:
   # defoptions=quiet splash irqpoll

Close nano with Ctrl+X and confirm saving of file.

Next, enter:
   sudo update-grub

After a reboot, both NICs worked for me and kept working.
However, and i want to stress this: This is only a workaround, not a fix as a fix would make this workaround redundant.
I hope this works for other people as well.

Good luck everyone!
